What Does it Mean to Revoke a Certificate?
A certificate holder may request that his/her certificate is revoked or deleted.
A revoked certificate is canceled permanently and will no longer be able to be re-keyed, renewed or reissued.
If you are moving your SSL certificate to a new server, if your server has crashed or if you have lost your private key, you will want to re-key your SSL certificate not revoke it. Two free re-key credits are available to you within the first 30 days of purchase. If you need an additional re-key credit after that time, please contact customer service for an additional free re-key credit.
A revoked certificate is instantly rendered invalid. Consider revoking your certificate if any of the following situations occur:
- The SSL certificate contains incorrect information.
- The SSL certificate is no longer needed.
- You can not access your SSL account to manage your SSL certificate.
- The wrong type of SSL was purchased .
NOTE: If you are moving your SSL certificate to a new server, if your server has crashed, or if you have lost your private key, you will want to re-key your SSL certificate not revoke it.
